Hulu's head of content, Craig Erwich, spoke highly of Kaling during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and alluded to the prospect of doing more business with the 38-year-old actor in the future. Per THR, Erwich explained, “Mindy embodies Hulu. She’s funny, she’s highly intelligent, she’s confident and stylish. She’s somebody that we really want to be in business with.”

Kaling pledged her allegiance to the streaming network at Hulu’s upfront presentation at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Wednesday, May 2. When speaking of her new series with Hulu during the sit down, Kaling didn't offer many details other than the revelation that she would be casting a largely diverse group of characters. She explained,

“I’m talking Pakistani people, I’m talking black people, I’m talking a couple old people but not too many. And don’t worry everyone, there will still be plenty of white people.”

"Here’s my feeling: For everyone, men and women, it’s important to be a feminist. It’s important to have female characters. It’s wonderful for women to mentor other women, but it’s just as important for women to mentor men and vice-versa."
